At a time when access to #disabilitybenefits support is changing, these stories matter. Four #Veterans who navigated the @DeptVetAffairs disability claims process, and chose to help others through it. As policies evolve, that support is being restricted in some states. In #California, SB 694 will limit certain forms of Veteran-to-Veteran guidance. This has real consequences. Veterans deserve the right to #choose. @PeteORourkeSr

What the VA actually looks for in a claim

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 BREAKING: The US just asked Ukraine for help intercepting Iranian drones.

Let that sink in.

The same administration that cut off Ukraine’s weapons.

That humiliated Zelensky in the Oval Office. That called him a dictator. That parroted Russian talking points for months.

Just called Ukraine for help.

And Zelensky said yes — on his terms.

Who has the leverage now?

Trump started an illegal war with no plan, lost bases across the Middle East, closed the Strait of Hormuz to China, and now needs the man he tried to destroy to bail him out.

The tables didn’t just turn.

They flipped.

@TXAG Ken Paxton’s action against @vaclaimsinsider draws a clear line between #ethical providers and #badactors. It also reflects the same #consumerprotections #NAVR has championed through the SAVE Act and similar legislation in multiple states. https://t.co/Y5qVWdaiak

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

“Good regulation helps Veterans distinguish between good actors and bad actors — and that matters.”

Today, #NAVR President @PeteORourkeSr testified in support of legislation strengthening consumer protections for Nebraska #Veterans seeking #disabilitybenefits.

A #Veteran and former Acting Secretary of the @DeptVetAffairs, Peter highlighted the need for clear, enforceable #standards that protect Veterans while preserving choice.

This reflects growing national momentum to safeguard #Veterans from predatory practices with #accountability and #transparency.

Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov reacts to Stephen Miller’s Greenland comments: ‘I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying.’

@CaptMarkKelly You, sir, are a class act and an American hero and patriot. Thank you for your service.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.

My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.

Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.

If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

It must be tough being MAGA right now, because I can’t think of a single major promise Trump have that he hasn’t failed on or fully ignored since taking office:

1) “No more sending US troops overseas”

-Bombs Iran, sends troops to Gaza, bombs Venezuela.

2) “America First”

-Bails out Argentina, brings in Venezuelan refugees, pays for Israel to get fighter jets.

3) “Only deporting criminals”

-Deports neighbors and legal workers, and arrests people for looking Hispanic

4) “War on drugs”

-Pardons Honduran President who flooded US with cocaine.

5) “Will beat China on tech”

-Sells China high end restricted chips

6) “Will cut our budget”

-Big Beautiful Bill raised spending more than ever.

7) “Doge will cut waste”

-Cut 0.02%, prosecuted no fraud, has to rehire more than 1/3rd of layoffs as they were essential

8) “We’ll lower grocery and gas prices day one”

-They’ve gone up.

9) “Will instate a Bitcoin reserve day one!”

-None.

10) “Will end the war in Ukraine day one”

-Hasn’t.

11) “Will lower your taxes”

-Under $400k your taxes are flat or went up.

12) “Will replace ObamaCare with something that works!”

-ObamaCare subsidies are gone, no new proposal for replacement.

13) “Won’t support communism”

-Takes government stake in private businesses.

14) “No corruption”

-Son in law is on the board of two company acquisitions directly over seen by Trump.
-Trump pardons crypto exchange owner that he doesn’t seem to know after he buys Trump memecoin.

15) “Will release the Epstein files”

-Called it a hoax
-DoJ partially released and is obstructing

16) “Will investigate COVID committee”

-Hasn’t.

17) “Will investigate Jan 6th committee”

-Hasn’t.

18) “Will cut drug costs by 600%!”

-Hasn’t cut them at all, never mind the impossible amount.

19) “Will audit the gold in Fort Knox”

-Hasn’t.

20) “Will weed out corrupt officials”

-Took donations from oil companies before going into Venezuela.

-Let private companies sponsor the ballroom for access to him.

-Expanded Planatir access to government agencies giving them more of our data.

This is so funny 🤣

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care, even though my skin burned from the chemicals.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

REPORTER: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted and it came up clean

TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting

REPORTER: Actually, your DOJ IG just reported that there was thorough vetting of Afghans who were brought into the US. So why do you blame Biden?

TRUMP: Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person? You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person
